The National Council of La Raza was
founded in 1968 and is based in Washington D.C., the heart of the
United States. It is a private nonprofit Hispanic civil rights group
that seeks public support for their cause.

Their president and CEO, Janet
Murguia, has worked to make sure that the Latino voice is strongly
heard on political issues such as immigration, education, and health
care. She has been on many news stations trying to spread the
message of the National Council of La Raza to convince Latino
communities to raise their voices and be heard instead of remaining
silent when it comes to political issues. She has been named as one
of the most powerful women in Washington and one of the most
influential Hispanic women in newspapers and magazines.

The NCLR has created a health
institute for Hispanics to help with medical conditions like heart
disease, diabetes, and HIV. They have also created the NCLR
Homeownership Network that helps people with the process of buying a
home along with creating education programs that help stress the
importance of education for Latinos.
To conclude, The National Council of
La Raza has made an immense contribution to helping the Latino
population. Whether it be standing up for their rights or for
ensuring their health and safety within a community, they have been
giving back to the community for over forty years and have made a
lasting impact on the Latino community.
